The Sound of Electronic Music

You've certainly never heard the Von Trapp family singers sound like this. Matthew Perpetua at Fluxblog brings us the "distinct aesthetic" of Max Tundra, who turns the musical classic "So Long, Farewell" into a frantic yet upbeat perversion of itself. "The first time that I heard this, I spent the full duration of the song with a slack-jawed look of giddy disbelief on my face," says Perpetua. I'd have to agree. At first the syncopation to me sounded horribly dissonant, but as the song progressed I was eventually won over, and smiled upon realizing that the Von Trapps had fled the auditorium.

Of Shopping and Singing Crabs

As we were walking in a huge Kyoto shopping arcade we fell victim to the intoxicating siren song of a giant plastic crab. In an atempt to lure customers many restaurants in Kyoto employ the talents of singing plastic food all of whom have childlike voices and big round eyes. I'll post more Japanese singing entrees as I find them.
